We are requesting support for this mother who has three children ages 3, 6 and 8. One of mother's children has a severe immune deficiency disease that is incurable. Because of this the children are all home-schooled to prevent chance of bringing home germs. The children would benefit greatly from a set of bunk beds. This is a single mother and she is indigent. The children currently have cot type bed and both are broken. The 3 year-old sleeps with mother and she has been told this is a health issue. I have looked on the Wal-Mart website and found two affordable options. A family member has agreed to assist with the mattresses if we can get the frame donated. Any assistance is appreciated.

Please help us preserve a Kinship placement. A grandmother has cared for her granddaughter for over 3 years, but is now struggling financially. She needs assistance getting tires and a wheel alignment for her car which is her only means of transportation. Grandmother uses her vehicle to safely transport her granddaughter to and from school, therapy appointments and other court orders several times a week.

The family lives in orange county and has to travel all over for services / court orders, including to LA County. Grandmother is retired and has a fixed income. She responsibly uses her income to pay for essentials for the minor and funds extracurricular activities for her granddaughter to participate in during their visits. Over the past 3 years, grandmother has successfully focused her resources on caring for her granddaughter.

Recently the minor’s therapist recommended the minor to be enrolled in a school program that provides therapeutic services for children on the Autism spectrum. Grandmother is required to pay a portion of the weekly tuition, and this additional cost has limited Grandmother's ability to address this need without assistance. The cost of the new tires is $790.30, and the wheel alignment is $129.99 for a total cost of $920.29 that can be paid directly to the vendor. Your assistance with helping grandmother replace her car tires so that she could continue providing a safe environment to her grandchild would be greatly appreciated.

I am reaching out on behalf of a dedicated caregiver who is in urgent need of support. This caregiver lovingly cares for a young child (Almost 2) with autism and is currently facing a significant challenge. After a recent surgery, the caregiver is unable to safely carry or support the child while using their current umbrella stroller, which offers limited support and stability.

To ensure the child’s safety and comfort—and to help the caregiver manage day-to-day outings—we are requesting assistance in providing a full-size stroller. A sturdier stroller will allow for better support for the child and reduce physical strain on the caregiver during recovery.

This act of kindness will make a world of difference for a family navigating both medical recovery and the daily responsibilities of raising a child with unique needs.

We are asking for support for this family of a crib for their three month old infant. The baby has been sleeping with her parents and mother was told this is considered a health risk. At this time the family has no extra funds. Mother does not work and father is out of work on disability. This crib would support this family in staying unified by eliminating the immediate concern of where the infant sleeps.

I looked at Target and they have a crib that also converts for the child as they age to a lower position preventing the child from crawling over the edge. I have included the details below.

I am working with a family of six—a mother and her five young children—who are in need of support. Family has experienced homelessness and has been able to overcome many challenges. As the children have grown, the limited space in their home has made it difficult to provide each child with a safe and comfortable place to sleep. To help meet her family’s needs, the mother is seeking assistance with obtaining a bunk bed.

This furniture would significantly improve the children’s living conditions by creating more space and ensuring a safer sleep environment. Due to ongoing financial hardship, the mother is unable to afford this on her own. Providing this support would strengthen her ability to care for her children and offer her greater peace of mind as she continues to meet their daily needs. The cost of the bunk bed is 169.99 with a shipping fee of 79.99=249.98. Go To Link Along with mattress Twin XL over Twin XL Go To Link

The mother and her child (with developmental disabilities) has experience Domestic Violence and had to relocate into the maternal grandparents' apartment. During this time, the mother has been unable to work and has had many setbacks and is working through them, with the help of her therapist. The mother has reported that she is striving to do better and wants to be a better person for her children. The family is in need of a sofa bed and twin bed due to their small space at the maternal Grandparents' home. (amazon items were found at a good price, prices listed below include taxes.)

We are seeking urgent community support for a mother and her 7-year-old daughter who are currently in need of safe and stable housing. The mother is a victim of domestic violence and is without any local family support. She is currently awaiting a court hearing scheduled for May 9th, which will determine whether she is permitted to relocate to Georgia to be with extended family.

At this time, the mother has exhausted her financial resources and is unable to secure housing on her own. We are asking for assistance to help cover the cost of a 14-day hotel stay, totaling approximately $141 per night, to ensure she and her daughter have a safe place to stay during this transitional period.

Total estimated need: $1,974 (14 nights at $141/night)

Any support—whether financial contributions, hotel vouchers, or referrals to community resources—is deeply appreciated. Your generosity can provide stability and hope to a family in urgent need.

Caregiver needs a black, six or eight wooden/sturdy dresser for her half sibling. The youth’s current dresser is broken. The caregiver is married and has two small children, and was willing to open her home for her younger half sibling due to family circumstances related to a history of domestic violence and substance abuse. The caregiver has sacrificed to care for her younger half sibling and does all she can to ensure her younger sibling is cared for and protected. The caregiver and youth are meeting the case plan goals/court orders. Furthermore, caregiver is committed to legal guardianship through KinGap. The main reason I am requesting this need to be fulfilled is because I want to support the family and also assist with providing a safe environment for the youth. DCFS is requesting a black six to eight drawer wooden dresser, otherwise the youth will continue to have a broken dresser that could possible fall apart as the youth continues to use. This need is being requested through Care Portal because unfortunately, DCFS’ timeframe in providing this item would take too long, as the youth needs a functioning and safe dresser. The estimated cost of the dresser being requested is $200.00.

Mother is receiving CalWorks and financial aid as she is a college student but is not suffice for mother to purchase a toddler bed, high chair and car seat for the children. Despite the mother’s financial hardships, she is working toward the case plan and goals. Mother’s main goal is to maintain the children in her care, continue to have a bond with them and not put the children at risk of abuse. For this reason, I am advocating for mother to have the need identified. The main reason I am requesting this need to be fulfilled is to provide a safe, enjoyable and comfortable environment for the children. DCFS has assisted the family by providing diapers and appropriate activities. This need is critical to ensuring child safety, the children to be in a safe car seat and to have their own sleeping area. This need is being requested through Care Portal because unfortunately DCFS does not have these items to provide to the family. The estimated cost of the need/s being requested is approximately $600.00.

A devoted grandmother is stepping in to provide emergency care for her 1.5-year-old grandson after he was removed from his home. To prevent him from being placed in a non-family foster home, she has been asked to take him into her care immediately. The baby is the son of her eldest son, and while she is eager to welcome him, the unexpected responsibility has created a financial strain.

With two children already in her household, she is in urgent need of essential supplies for her grandson, including clothing (socks and pajamas), diapers, wipes, sippy cups, and groceries. Unfortunately, it will take 2-3 months before she receives financial assistance for his care.

DCFS is preparing to transfer the baby from San Diego to her home right away. Your kindness and generosity can help ensure that this grandmother has the support she needs to provide a stable and loving environment for her grandson during this critical time.
